Not everyone chooses not to have children. You want to consider that from your high horse.
No, but an awful lot of women from a certain generation chose to postpone having children, thinking that they could just have them anytime they wanted, and found out too late that female fertility drops off pretty quickly after age 30.
“Not everyone chooses not to have children.”
Truth.
I am thankful these co-workers didn’t breed, and never felt children (or even marriage) was for everyone. When someone lashes out that they should be able to bring their dog if the company re-started the company picnics it held for employees and their families in the past, you don’t need a “high horse” to realize they are resentful, regretful pieces of crap. On a positive note, they will leave this world without a trace in the not-too-distant future.
